Collisions

Here are some examples of collisions management:

//Defines two points with its coordinates:
var myPoint = { x: 20, y: 30 };
var myPoint2 = { x: 30, y: 50 };
//Distance between two points:
CB_console("The distance between 'myPoint' and 'myPoint2' is: " + CB_Collisions.getDistancePoints(myPoint.x, myPoint.y, myPoint2.x, myPoint2.y));
//A point and a DOM element (considered a rectangle):
var element = CB_Elements.id("my_element"); //Equivalent to document.getElementById("my_element").
if (CB_Collisions.isPointTouchingElement(myPoint.x, myPoint.y, element)) { CB_console("The point is touching (maybe over) the element whose ID is 'my_element'."); } //Also if they are adjacent (next to each other).
else if (CB_Collisions.isPointOverElement(myPoint.x, myPoint.y, element)) { CB_console("The point is over the element whose ID is 'my_element'."); }
//A rectangle and a DOM element (considered a rectangle):
if (CB_Collisions.isRectangleTouchingElement(20, 30, 100, 80, element)) { CB_console("The rectangle whose left upper corner coordinates start at (20, 30) and whose width is 100 and height is 80 is touching (maybe over) the element whose ID is 'my_element'."); } //Also if they are adjacent (next to each other).

//A point and an ellipse:

//NOTE: for other types of collisions, check the API documentation.

For some collisions with the mouse cursor, you can use the CB_Mouse static class. To get more information, read the Mouse topic of the basic tutorial.
